Brain scans reveal that language areas stay silent during pure logical thinking. New MIT study: Language processing happens across much more of the brain than previously believed — not just in the classic left-hemisphere regions. Octopuses experience the famous "rubber hand illusion" — the first time this self-awareness phenomenon has been shown outside of mammals. These studies raise fascinating questions: How does the brain truly create thought? What is the real relationship between language and intelligence? And how similar (or different) is consciousness across species?Join the discussion! What do these findings mean for AI, linguistics, philosophy of mind, and our understanding of intelligence?
